These two scholars are the top yoga scholars in the world. They are involved with the major yoga exhibition at the Smithsonian this fall. http://www.si.edu/Exhibitions/Details/Yoga-The-Art-of-Transformation-4911

go to any evangelical church on any street. I used to be an evangelical Christian for about 2 months.

if that is "powerful transmission", what about speaking in tongues at any evangelical church? seems similar

Esoteric Islam is only a Trojan horse for proper Islam.

That's interesting, considering the British were always obsessed with esoteric material. Golden Dawn Aleister Crowley Wicca Spiritualism (the religion)

Main problem in this thread, is that most people are not talking about rigpa (dzogchen context). They are only talking about 1 out of 3 wisdoms of rigpa: kadag. The lhun grub wisdom, on the other hand, has to do with secret esoteric practices such as dark retreat.

Rigpa definitely means knowledge. Even in Madhyamaka texts (See Nagarjuna's Reason Sixty), rigpa is knowledge. Rigpa is just Tibetan for knowledge.

Taoists, Christians, Hindus don't display rainbow body i.e. enlightenment. HH Dudjom Rinpoche, who did have full realization of rainbow body, says very clearly you have to be Buddhist. Read "A Torch Lighting the Way to Freedom".

Yup, you need to have transmission from someone who holds the Dudjom lineage, before reading the book.

I don't think that's right.

That's not how it works.

Preach on brother Anderson. You either recognize or you don't. There is no middle ground.

first worry about animals, then spirits

Dudjom Rinpoche wasn't a monk. Kunzang Dechen Lingpa wasn't a monk. Most high Dzogchenpas aren't monks. Most Dzogchenpas aren't monks. Seriously, what are you talking about?

Steve, weren't you taking a shit on Buddhists in the other thread?

What Dzogchen teachings have you received

Why would you question his use of the word "knowledge" which is a direct translation for rigpa?

The Indian Mahasiddhas, the founders of Vajrayana, are just as authoritative as Shakyamuni. They are Buddhas.

You are not even a Buddhist, let alone a Vajrayana practitioner. You are a self-admitted New Age Christian.

There is a reason "Buddhahood without Meditation" clearly states in the beginning that its only for those with transmission. Otherwise you get people who don't know what the fuck they are talking about, commenting on it.

Some knowledgeable Buddhists say they are gyalpos.

I personally believe that Yahweh and Allah are also hungry ghosts

What if the spirit says they are your "spirit guide"? Would you channel it? Would you invite it to enter you? Spirits don't lie right?

You get relaxed and invite spirits to enter you.

Why would you trust any hungry ghost?
